Open Letters

Dear Neighbors,

Thanks for taking my clothes out of the dryer and putting them in my basket. </sarcasm>  Next time, do you think you can let the cycle finish first so that my clothes are actually DRY? Especially since I don't exaggerate the settings needed to dry my clothes, unlike some.

Yes, yes, I know I've taken someone else's clothes out before while the machine was still running, but that was because, you know, the one pair of XS jeans was already dry and did not need to tumble about for the remaining 2 hrs of programmed time. Oh, and the child's kimono?  That was dry, too, with 90 minutes still to go. (See what I mean about exaggerating?)

My clothes?  Not dry.  

Pretty please have a little courtesy next time.*

Respectfully yours.

Me 

(* and clean the lint trap. I don't mind doing it--I actually enjoy doing it when it is my own machine and not full of strangers' hair--but I do mind that I seem to be the only one who does.)

Dear Mechanic,

For the love of my kneecaps (and those of all other customers taller than you), please move the seat back to its original position after you drive my car. It was very sweet of you to get it out of the parking space for me, but your consideration was cancelled by the extreme OW! of slamming my kneecap against the steering column when getting out of the car.

Painfully yours,

Me

P.S. Thank you for changing the brake pads and disks though...er wait, should I thank you when I had to pay that much for the service??? In any case, so happy that annoying noise is at last gone!

Ugh, old machine? Mine used to stop automatically when the clothes were dry.

And yeah, I have the opposite problem when someone has driven my car. :p

hehe. I thought about that. Did you notice I didn't call anyone short or vertically challenged? I knew my pea would be reading. >:}

Vertically challenged. *snort*

hehe. I did not make that up. :P

Oh man, sharing laundry devices is the pits.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

It is. Not only is there the dryer issue, someone--against our landlord's request--keeps using dye-trapping lingettes in the washer , which block the filters, causing all sorts of problems and flooding. :-

Another example of "My needs trump every other consideration."

I know. Insane, isn't it? o.O
